I've to show , " at the spring equinox for a place of latitude ø, the sun will become visible at the top of a tower of height " H " feet, about
" 13.94(root over )H * sec ø "
But as far i made calculations, i got the amount of
"4.24 root over H * sec ø "
I used all the measurements in...
Here's a problem from an astronomy book
"the top of the mountain 1000 m in height can just be visible seen from a ship approaching the land where the mountain is situated. . If the observer's eye is 30 m above sea level. Then how far the ship is from the mountain? "
The main problem is i...
a problem from an olympiad
"A student tries to measure field of view (FOV) of the eyepiece of his/her
telescope, using rotation of the Earth. To do this job, the observer points the telescope
towards Vega (alpha Lyr., RA: 18.5h , Dec: +39° ), turns off its "clock drive" and measures
trace...
hi, heres' problem from an international olympiad
"The Damavand Mountain is located at the North part of Iran, in south coast of
Caspian Sea. Consider an observer standing on the Damavand mountaintop (latitude =
35° 57′ N; longitude = 52° 6' E; altitude 5.6 x 10^3m from the mean sea level)...
well, so there altitude matters...i can see the stars below horizon due to my high altitude & refraction on the atmospheric layers...
but can you please suggest me the clue to derive this declination?
thanks a lot...
the book in which i found this problem showed answer of this problem to be 3x10^7 photons per second...
that's why i got so much stunned with my result...:confused:
but a similar problem with different coefficients shows a result very close to my calculation..
anyway i...
thanks for answering...
of course it's that, but my question is how can i explain this procedure mathematically?...
i just wanted to know the process of measering star declination &then asked if the circumpolar condition changes if i change the altitude?
for circumpolar stars i only know...
the energy output of a star is such at the surface of the Earth it provides 5x10^-19 WM^-2 in the visible part of the spectrum...
how many photons are collected per second by a 500mm diameter telescope?
i don't know if there's any definite formula to drive the answer...but i tried this way...
The Damavand Mountain is located at the North part of Iran, in south coast of
Caspian Sea. Consider an observer standing on the Damavand mountaintop (latitude =
35° 57′ N; longitude = 52° 6' E; altitude 5.6 x10^3m

the sky over the Caspian Sea. What...
yes...it makes sense to me that escape velocity & falling velocity is the same for the system...
but unfortunately i didn't get the 2nd para of your answer..
can you please provide me some more hints to derive the original formula given in the question?
thank you ...
i didn't even heard of this theory earlier as i am not a physics student...
any way i got the equation for the mass to be
M=2v^2R/G
now i can easily solve this out...
but can you please help me a bit more to completely understand the equation..?
as it says
the kinetic...
: Estimate the mass of a globular cluster with the radius of R=20pc and root
mean square velocity of stars equal to Vrms=3km/s
i can apply the formula like
Vrms=(root over) 3RT/M ( where R=gas constant, T= absolute temperature, M=mass of the cluster)
but here the variable of the "T" is...
